A Battlefield Bad Company remaster was apparently in the works, but it eventually got canned.

Jeff Grubb, who has been correctly providing information about a variety of publishers and games, revealed a few hours after the end of EA Play 2020 that a remaster of the popular entry in the Battlefield series he teased a while back has been canned. He also reiterated that Battlefield 6 will be a modern shooter.

Grubb also commented on the Skate 4 announcement. The game has apparently been in the works for a long time but in a sort of limbo, as the developers weren't really sure the project would see the light of day.

 

While the Battlefield Bad Company remaster has been canned, there's a good chance we will get a series' remaster anyway in the future. According to rumors, a Battlefield 3 remaster is currently in the works, and it will be launched alongside another entry in the series complete with all the additional content released for the original version and brand new cosmetics.

Battlefield V is the latest entry in the series developed by DICE. The game received its final update earlier this month which introduced new maps, weapons, and more.

New Maps

  • Al Marj Encampment (Conquest, Breakthrough, TDM, Squad Conquest) - Set in Libya, this is an infantry-only map, where you can expect both close-quarter fights and ranged combat depending on where you are on the battlefield. It’s 64 players on Conquest and Breakthrough, with additional configurations available on Squad Conquest and Team Deathmatch.
  • Provence (Conquest, Breakthrough, TDM, Squad Conquest) - The play area of this classic Battlefield map has been extended to include the farm land, and areas around the outskirts of town, bringing tanks into this battlefield on 64-player Conquest, and Breakthrough.

The next entry in the Battlefield series has yet to be announced. We will keep you updated on it as soon as more come in so stay tuned for all the latest news.
